13 he doesn't want cuddles After eating dogs are pack animals that want company If your dog loves to play or cuddle with you it is a good thing he considers you part of his Pack and finds your company and your attention pleasant also if your dog wants to cuddle with you after eating it means that he loves you dog cuddles after meals are equivalent to a strong love between master and dog because it shows that your dog doesn't see you just as a machine that feeds him On the other hand if your pet ignores you completely often it is a sign that he is not happy and that it is good to try to understand the But remember that dogs often try to hide discomfort dogs that suddenly start acting differently with their favorite human may be trying to keep a disturbance to themselves or an injury a sudden change in behavior like this could totally justify a visit to the vet

12 doesn't look you in the eye behaviorists believe the dog's ability to make eye contact with a human in a non-aggressive way was one of the first steps towards domestication Canines have somehow learned that humans like eye contact and that by looking into a person's eyes they establish a meaningful relationship. a great admirer of yours will not meet your gaze and will turn away this is because dogs often choose to flee rather than fight Looking away from you the dog tries to keep the peace and avoid an attack

11 it doesn't seem to want to sleep in your room wolves and wild dogs purposely sleep in small, confined areas with pack members they trust to protect them from predators Our dogs think we are part of their pack and feel they can count on us to protect them in the face of danger So if the dog doesn't want to sleep in the same room with you it could be a trust issue

10 ignore your commands Some people think that training a dog is only about the dog but in reality it is an issue that affects both sides of the dog leash if a dog does not trust its owner it is less likely to respond well to training In fact many people who bring home rescued and newly adopted dogs find it difficult to train them precisely because of trust many such dogs in fact have seen the worse than humanity through abuse, punishment and abandonment and trusting their new families does not come naturally although immediate training is important. al Science has shown that dogs ignore information they deem useless So if your pet seems to be nagging you and ignoring your commands almost suddenly that's a sure sign that he's not happy with you

9 wag his tail to the left When you're nearby can be a difficult thing to spot but a dog wags its tail to the left if it is suspicious of another dog or a person it does not trust recent studies suggest that a tail wagging to the left indicates negative feelings fear or stress I Dogs may display this behavior in the presence of an unfamiliar, dominant dog or person Conversely wagging their tail to the right indicates positive feelings or that the dog is relaxed Dogs often display this behavior when They Love their owner

8 Disappears When you are around if your furry friend Insists on keeping a distance from you it is very likely that he is trying to avoid you on purpose dogs prefer detachment rather than fighting for let's say destructive behavior So if your dog disappears every time you enter the room that's a sign quite clear that he feels threatened or upset and wants to leave But remember that hiding is also a sign that he may be feeling unwell So if your pet often disappears around the house it's time to call the vet

7 he doesn't relax When you're around sleeping puts the dog in a very vulnerable position a happy dog ​​and dozing relaxes and exposes the belly dogs usually worry about their safety and They don't expose their vulnerable parts when they are unsure of their surroundings So if the dog does not duck standing guard when you are around could mean that he does not feel at ease with you In this regard, remember that if your dog adopts a lateral or belly-up sleeping position it means that he has no worries He is relaxed and at ease with his surroundings surrounding and has no uncertainty

6 refuses your treats your dog is not a dummy In fact most animals show that they do not feel at ease with a particular person and therefore feel scared or upset by refusing to accept, for example, a treat if you have noticed that your furry friend is not very enthusiastic about the treats that the vet offers him after giving him the injection This is probably the reason

5 he does not bring you any gifts one of the nicest things a dog does when he trusts you is giving you toys bones or anything random you may not have any interest in the tennis ball your puppy smashes into pieces but his willingness to share it with you is a sign of true affection this is because most dogs are possessive in their he trusts you enough to allow you to nibble on his bone knowing that you will share it with him or return it promptly so if the dog is not willing to share his toys with you it could be a sign that he does not trust enough

4 of you prefer to spend time with someone else you come home to find your beloved dog snuggled up on the couch with a member of your family but when you try to join in the fun the dog leaves You might as well start swimming your furry friend follows other family members but doesn't look at you if your dog turns to others for cuddles or attention But constantly ignores you This is a clear sign that the problem is not him but you

3 he doesn't like to be touched pet a dog reassures him that you love him relieves stress and improves the bond between dog and owner even if sometimes the dog is simply disinterested and does not want to be stroked if he regularly withdraws from your touch it is certainly a sign of a problem

2 you growl at if your dog growls at you he is definitely unhappy When a dog wants to be near his owner he may whine So he is almost whining and calling him he may also bark in frustration But when a dog is unhappy or feels threatened he will be more aggressive in the same way When a dog shows his teeth he is sending a clear message to keep away.
